Wonderland ATC 4

Mute the patterned paper by adding two layers of glossy gel medium with a little white and metallic champagne acrylic paints mixed in. Brush a little silver acrylic paint around the edges as a border.

Once the tinted gel medium dries, stamp Alice and the sentiment in black Staz-on ink, then color Alice with markers.

The arrow is a wood piece, colored with blue marker and then muted with white acrylic paint. The non-flower embellishment is a metal piece tinted with black Adirondack alcohol ink and an adhesive crystal added to the center.

Final steps: adhere the arrow, metal, and flower embellishments; add some pearl drops and highlight the flower stigma with a Viva pearl pen.

Thanks, Susan! I have been having fun playing with tinting different mediums (gels, pastes) with all sorts of stuff: ground pastels, re-inkers, alcohol inks, acrylic paints, etc.It has been a fun journey!

Thank you, Hazel! I love your Patterned Paper challege... my paper collection is a bit shocking in its size, so it is great to have a challenge out there that is aimed towards making use of our (large) stashes!

Love this, so funky with your design and love you've made from a food packaging cardboard..Thank you for joining us for our 1st challenge at More Mixed Media and hoping you would like to join us again..Good luck in draw..Hugs Lozzy xx

Thanks, Lozzy! I am so glad you started the More Mixed Media challenge. All the challenge blog & online craft store closures last year were very disheartening, and I am happy to support your antidote to those closures!

What a great card! I love your color choices and fun layout. Thanks for joining us at Aud Sentiments for our “Anything Goes” Challenge; I hope to see your work in our future challenges too!Jennifer, DT
